Review: Love her stories... - I have read quite a few books by this author and have enjoyed all of them. This one may be one of my favorites. The author always uses some sort of ESP (Extrasensory perception or sixth sense) to go back in time and in this story it is mainly through Psychometry, (to see something from having touching an object) and it also involves some other forms of ESP. The story althought encompasses other characters from previous books she has written : Anna, from Winter Sea and Rob, from Shadowy Horses. You do not have to have read those books to read and enjoy this story, although they are very worth reading and I think you will wish you had. This Story goes between present day England, Scotland, Belgium and then Russia and also those same places back in the 1700's. A lot of research of Scottish and Russian history went into the making of this story and many of the characters are true to history, throwing in fictitious ones to create a fabulous story. Nicola Marter, a young woman who works for a Russian art gallery in London, who while there one day, meets an older woman who brings in a small bird sculpture called a firebird, supposedly given to her ancestors by the Empress Catherine of Russia, but she had no paper work to prove it. When Nicola touches the bird, she sees a fleeting image of (a young girl, Anna and the Empress in a conversation). and since she is going to Russia for an art show, decides to see what she can discover about the bird and the two women she saw in her image. Knowing that her abilities are not as strong as she would like, she goes to see her old love interest , Rob McMorran (from Shadowy Horses) who lives in Scotland and who has a very well developed sense of ESP. This is a great story of their reunion and being able to use their abilities together to delve into the past and bring this story to life. Well written, with a lot of great descriptions of the scenes, people and places they see and go to. The author says this about her type of stories: "I write modern gothic novels that blend historical adventure and modern-day suspense with romance and a touch of something spooky, so they don't fit neatly into any category, really...but they're fun to write!" Normally the word Gothic novel would have kept me from reading her books, but the ESP part attracted me and I am so glad I discovered her work and look forward to her next one.
Review: I wanted more Rob & Nicola and less Anna, but still loved it - I loved alot about this book but couldn't help but wish there was more Rob and Nicola and less Anna. I don't think either storyline delivers completely. I thought the begining amazing, the set up for the firebird really good. The connection between the main characters terrific. Young Anna I loved. I loved seeing the characters from the Winter Sea. But the way Rob & Nicola 'saw' the history of Anna to me was a little too pat, a little too obvious a literary device and not i guess believable enough, you forgive it because its described beautifully and it gets the story from A to B but for my two cents I thought it needed more. I also thought the whole specific of the firebird became mostly irrelevant to the story, not the legend or the way it explained rob and nicola's journey but the as the story motivator the thing itself was practically forgotten. I also didn't think Anna's story was interesting enough on its own. Strip it of the characters from the Winter Sea and although beautifully told and a bit interesting for the historical setting its good but not great. The ending left me wanting a little bit more. It was the same with the Rose Garden (which I also loved), I don't know if I just don't want them to end or if those last moments feel a bit rushed. You won't regret reading this book it has so many amazing things about it, I just wanted it to be even more amazing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A well-researched, beautifully written historical romance
*by S***N on September 9, 2013*

The Winter Sea was the first book I read by Susanna Kearsley, and my first romance. It's still one of my favorite books of all time. I've since read every other book she's written that's available in e-book form, the last being The Firebird, another great read. I loved the character Anna, who at the beginning of the story finds out the family she lives with is not actually her own, and soon finds she's in terrible danger. Her story, which takes place during the Jacobite Rebellion in the early 1700s, is told through the visions of two modern day people who, by holding an object (in this case beginning with the Firebird, a centuries-old wooden sculpture) can see the events in the past that were connected to that object. The modern characters have a romantic history together, and as they try to solve the mystery of the origin of the Firebird, their attraction to each other grows. All Susanna Kearsley books have well-developed, strong characters, beautifully described scenery (in this book it's in Scotland and Russia mainly), and well-researched historical detail. In The Firebird, many of the supporting characters were real people who lived during the Jacobite Rebellion. The dialogue is witty, and the romance is touching and beautiful and not the least bit trashy. In order to not spoil the suspense of The Winter Sea, I would suggest reading The Winter Sea first since The Firebird continues the story of some characters from that novel; although, The Firebird can stand on its own. I bought the Audible version at a discount after buying the Kindle version, and I would highly recommend it. The narrator does a wonderful job of switching between English, Scottish, and Russian accents as well as male, female, young and old. I highly recommend The Firebird and all other Susanna Kearsley novels.
